The relevance and social significance of this issue have allowed the authors to explore it from the perspective of preparing future specialists in the field of psychology and pedagogy. The article presents the psychological aspects of volunteer activity as an important factor in the personal development of a teacher-psychologist during their studies at a university. The research methodology included a study of the potential of volunteer practice in terms of ensuring a safe and health-preserving environment. Empirical data from a study conducted as part of a project involving students from the psychological-pedagogical departments of Khoja AkhmetYassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, M.Auezov South Kazakhstan State University, and the Central Asian Innovation University are presented.

Based on the results and conclusions of this study, the authors developed an elective course program titled "Volunteer Activities as a Means of Ensuring a Safe and Health-Promoting Environment," aimed at improving students’ professional competencies in ensuring the psychological safety and health-preserving educational space in schools. The success of volunteer work in this area requires consideration of regional characteristics and needs, practical training for students in diagnosing the state of the educational environment, and scientific support for the development of collective and individual projects focused on ensuring safety and a comfortable, health-enhancing environment in educational institutions.

The results and findings of this research can be useful for higher and secondary professional educational institutions in the process of training future specialists in psychology and pedagogy.
